plan your visit

We know that sometimes your first visit can feel a little overwhelming or intimidating. We think you'll quickly discover why we say, "This is for everyone." We are a diverse congregation of all ages and a place to take a next step wherever you are in your spiritual journey. We welcome the skeptic, the doubter, and the believer. Eastside is a place where it's okay to not be okay.

what to expect

Here are some frequently asked questions
you may have before your first visit:

What is the experience like?

Our music is upbeat and contemporary, and you may even recognize a song or two. Sometimes we’re loud, so we guarantee you won’t fall asleep!

How early should I come?

Feel free to come a little early and grab a drink at the cafe on your way in. Here at Eastside, one of our favorite things to do is spend time with friends. One way we do that is by sharing a meal together. After the service stop by Guest Central to pick up your welcome gift and a free voucher for the grill or cafe.

Any helpful tips after I park?

We have amazing volunteers we call Change Makers! On your way in, you’ll find these friendly people wearing red shirts. They are there to welcome you and show you around. If you’re joining us on our Anaheim campus, there is convenient parking for families in our Family Lot, just off Miraloma Ave. You can park there and come in the north door #2

What should I wear?

Wear whatever you want and are comfortable in! We are pretty casual around here.

What do you offer for my kids?
